When thinking about my favourite book of 2013, it isn't hard for me to choose - 'Voyager' by Diana Gabaldon. This so far is my favourite book out of the Outlander series (whether this will change as I'm half way through book 5), and I am so grateful for my friend Jen for recommending them to me. Theses books have everything - love stories, time travel, historical events, violence, family life and new adventurers plus a lot more............ I can't wait for the tv series to start later on this year. If you haven't started these books, start them NOW!!!! On goodreads, they say - This series is comprised of one epic story, each book is like a chapter in that larger story.
Check out Jen's blog for more book recommendations, she read an amazing 122 books in 2013. http://www.jenthousandwords.com/
I also wanted to mentioned one other book that I would highly recommend and that's 'The secret keeper' by Kate Morton. If I hadn't read the Outlander books, this would have been my favourite book of 2013 instead. Really liked this book.
So the worse of my 2013 reads are, 'The women who went to bed for a year' and 'Where'd you go Bernadette'. Both was a waste of money buying this books. Both started off with a few laughs but soon died, with pointless stories and very disappointing endings - would not recommend at all!!!!!
Like I have said in the past, books are a very personal thing and what I have enjoyed reading you might hate. I love this fact as we are all so different and our interests are different - but remember if you have loved a book recommend it - without these recommendations I wouldn't have found many books I have enjoyed reading - like 'The secret keeper'; Janet Evanovich books; 'The silent girl' to mention a few. Not all recommends I have been given though, have I enjoyed, I was recommended 'Where'd you go Bernadette' by a friend who loved it - I hated it, but I was still grateful for that recommendation.
So do you have a favourite and worse book of 2013? What would you recommend me to read?
